    One of these flies over my house nearly everyday into VNY and I wondered for years what this big single-engine plane was? The Flightradar app helped me finally figure it out and I was aghast at the cost of such a plane. Now I have another question: what does Ed Smith do for a living and is there room for another guy?

      I fly with a few owner/pilots since leaving the airlines before covid19 and the one family has litter box with grass in it just in case. They shut it in the head and he yelps when it's done and surprisingly the kids clean up the mess after even though they have a family aide. The other family has a PC12 and we can land just about anywhere. So it's not a big deal even if it's not paved.

    Wow I thought I was doing good earning $50/hour when I see other people flying plane(s) that cost $2,800/hour to fly. I'd like to do better so I can join the $2,800/hour club.

    • @southjerseysound7340

      Most are business expenses. At the airport I fly out of most of the twins and high performance singles on up are part of the owners business. I too wish I could afford one, but I did the next best thing and fly for them and get paid 😊
      I used to fly for a major airline, but when I couldn't find a way out of a 330 that had a mind of it's own I finally left. I now have a small crop dusting business and fly for a few families when needed. Most of my clients are licensed but they prefer to have another pilot with their family onboard. I can't say any names, but I fly a PC12 a lot along with a Citation and a few others. But I've been lucky to have ferried the PC12 to Europe and beyond several times. The owner truly puts his through a proper workout and isn't afraid to get it dirty. We try not to go in blind and land on something we've been never seen. But it's seen more grass and dirt strips than our neighbors Carbon Cub on big tires has 😂
